man united transfer news live today

Carlos Baleba Manchester United finished their pre-season with a 1-1 draw against Fiorentina (5-4 win on penalties), but it was a game that reaffirmed the club’s biggest need. Casemiro strengthened Ruben Amorim’s case of wanting a new athletic midfield, a demand that has reached Ineos, as seen with the chase for Carlos Baleba. Baleba is United’s top midfield target, but having spent north of £200m in the market already, it is far from an easy deal to make. Fabrizio Romano has now shared an exciting update, however, on United’s chase for Baleba, with the club repeating the process they undertook to secure Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. Baleba, on paper, is United’s ideal midfielder, with the only negative point right now being Brighton’s asking price for the player, prompting United to l...

manchester united transfer news: Gianluigi Donnarumma eye Old Trafford

Gianluigi Donnarumma Gianluigi Donnarumma is reportedly interested in joining Manchester United, with Paris Saint-Germain closing in on the signing of a new goalkeeper. Donnarumma is widely considered one of the best goalkeepers in the world and he has played a key role in PSG's recent success. The Italy captain made 47 appearances across all competitions last season, helping PSG win the Champions League, Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France as they became the first French club to win a continental treble.

According to a report from L'Equipe, PSG have agreed a deal to sign Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier. The report states that a fee of €40million (£35m) has been agreed for the 23-year-...

After a dismal last season, Ruben Amorim's team is eager to bolster their attacking line-up this summer.

Man United suffer major blow in the race to sign £60m forward

Ollie Watkins Of Aston Villa In Manchester United’s annual trawl through the Premier League for firepower, another door has been firmly shut. According to The Telegraph, Aston Villa have informed United that Ollie Watkins is not for sale. Not for £50 million, not for £80 million, not for any price. Watkins is theirs, and that’s the end of the conversation United, under Ruben Amorim’s emerging stewardship, have been seeking a dependable No 9 with top-flight credentials. Watkins, who scored 19 goals and provided 13 assists in the Premier League last season, would tick most of the right boxes and is experienced enough to deliver immediately.
